The elementary school I went to was right next to some houses and one house had a pecan tree that was over the fence, and it’d drop some pecans on the school’s sides and a lot of students would go to the tree to enjoy some pecans every here and then during recess. Good memories, and love pecans

Another way I do pecans is that I take the most curved sides and use the household nutcrackers and crack them along the curved sides. When done gently enough you can get a nice long crack along the sides then you can go along the middle or end of them and go in a circle cracking it gently. I have been able to get so many pecan halves out without ruining them

My late father had a party trick where he could crack a brazil nut with his bare hands. He would put the nut on a wooden chopping board (less slippery and protects the table) and bear in mind brazil nut shells are triangular, so there's a hard ridge pointing up. He'd then use the heel of his hand to slam down on the nut and crack it open, often in one go. That man had the broadest, most calloused hands I've ever seen. And if you were wondering, yes, he looked like a Viking.

English or Persian walnuts are easily cracked open by inserting the tip of a knife into the stem end, and then twisting. Very clean results. A fine-tipped butter knife is the best and safest. Thinner is also better, because it's easier to insert.

When I was little, my family would buy assorted nuts for Christmas or Easter. The holiday pass time was watching the kids figuring out random ways to open a nut without a nutcracker. My hands are hard as rocks now as an adult, and I believe that's why.

If cracking the peanut the way shown in the video doesn't work, you can squeeze the pointed end of the peanut and it will normally open very easily!

[@NatePerdomo]

Wow that was nuts
